Fail exists. Just bad journalism. <a href="http://www.law.yale.edu/academics/jdgrades.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.law.yale.edu/academics/jdgrades.htm</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/519154ed6bb3f7370b000013ibsteve2uMon, 13 May 2013 17:02:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/519154ed6bb3f7370b000013
"...all classes are honors/pass/low-pass — that's right, no failing"???
Appears the good old boy...erhhh, "Eli"....network is...institutionalized.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518b1a2669bedd5e4400000fNathanielWed, 08 May 2013 23:38:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518b1a2669bedd5e4400000f
Personally, I love the way that the student body at Yale Law thwarted your efforts! It's a typically American bit of meaningless pop-journalism that you were attempting, and my already high regard for our nation's top ranked law school just increased. Ironically, you gave them excellent press simply by publishing their response to your silly try for a puff piece.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189a05beab8eaba49000007Rod BannerTue, 07 May 2013 20:46:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189a05beab8eaba49000007
Watching you guys get upset over Yale's polite refusal to partake in your click-bait contest is one of the funniest things that I've read in a while. You guys aren't exactly Woodward and Bernstein. Why would you be so surprised that people don't feel the need to distinguish themselves for you? There are plenty of other fish in the sea, boys. Why don't you stick to fishing at Harvard. They seem to be more than willing to climb all over each other in order to get some face time.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51899e45ecad044d7100000fRod BannerTue, 07 May 2013 20:37:25 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51899e45ecad044d7100000f
You must be a ton of fun at parties. The only things you forgot to mention were black helicopters and Benghazi.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51897d9869beddcc4a00000bSarah ParkerTue, 07 May 2013 18:18:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51897d9869beddcc4a00000b
Conformism at its best. Expect nothing less from an institution who welcomes a Taliban member (Hashemi) into their community and calls it "equal opportunity" and "diversity" and smiles when he says to the New York Times: “I could have ended up in Guantanamo Bay. Instead, I ended up at Yale.”http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518965ac6bb3f7960600000apulse4everTue, 07 May 2013 16:35:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518965ac6bb3f7960600000a
Thanks Gus, but thats the whole point. Impressive people are all over the world. My single-mom neighbour who does a full-time job, takes care of two children, volunteers at the local recreation centre, finds time to go jogging and tends to an awesome garden is super-impressive. But you don't come knocking at her door?
Impressive students are great - maybe for the University magazine or in a sociology study about impressive students - not on a news agregator where folks come to check on the latest for business, technology and political news/views.
Ever square inch or real estate you take away from that focus is diluting your brand, weakening the attention your readers give you and thus jeopardizing your business model.
Surely, talent such as yourself could be dedicated towards more investigative and journalism rather than interviewing a bunch of students that were referred to you?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189633d69bedd0007000012PlatoTue, 07 May 2013 16:25:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189633d69bedd0007000012
Maybe this is a hint to Henry to stop obsessing over his alma mater and other Ivies to create pointless slide show page view machines..
Might have stoop down and start calling on non Ivies to get some resume porn for the site. The horror.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189621cecad048008000004Gus LubinTue, 07 May 2013 16:20:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5189621cecad048008000004
These are some of the brightest young people in America and they very much deserve to be featured.
As for the selection criteria, we think talking to current students and doing our own research is a fine approach. Who can judge impressiveness excerpt for other people? In any case, these are fun, informal lists, not meant to be scientific nor comprehensive.
By the way, we're taking nominations for impressive students at other top law schools.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518960006bb3f78b7c000001scooby dooTue, 07 May 2013 16:11:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518960006bb3f78b7c000001

Three cheers for the Yale law students! They live up to their claim to be collaborative and all about uniqueness rather than about vying for slight edges in credentials.
That there is a success of organizational culture in attracting and selecting the right people, and in keeping those values alive throughout the law school experience.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51895ce96bb3f7f573000007pulse4everTue, 07 May 2013 15:58:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51895ce96bb3f7f573000007
I agree with the Yale students. Your list is neither scientific nor comprehensive - its just an arbitrary opinion based on anecdotal feedback. Not the best way to make a "list". Why don't you stop wasting time on this and try some real journalism for a change?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518950a66bb3f7ae5b000010Lou MannheimTue, 07 May 2013 15:06:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518950a66bb3f7ae5b000010
Maybe you guys should just stop with these stupid lists. Or maybe shift your focus to the 20 most impressive non-profit owners? You know, something other than Ivy League law school and MBA students. Just a thought.
